Beauty pageants (competitions that mainly focuses on the physical beauty of its contestants) require contestants to be of a minimum height. So does that mean that shorter girls are incapable of being beautiful?
Clothes are made for tall people. Shorter people have no option but to spend more money and get them altered.
Even a job like flight attendant/ air hostess requires a girl to be of a particular height.
And don’t forget the “Looking for tall, slim, educated girl” ads in the matrimonial columns.
Because of this “heightism” or height discrimination in society, many girls start to believe that they are unattractive because they are not tall enough.
But is this the reality? Do men really prefer taller girls?
This question has been raised several times on several forums and the answer in unanimous – height has nothing to do with a girl’s attractiveness. As one guy puts it “as long as u are in good shape,pretty then you are attractive. “
Studies have shown that short women were the most likely to be married and have children. Some reasons which have been suggested for this situation include the fact that short women start puberty earlier than taller women who experience delayed fertility since they spend more energy growing, and that shorter women have a larger pool of men to choose from if they wish for a taller mate.
I think it’s supposed to be natural for women to prefer men who are taller than them, so it makes sense that men prefer women who are shorter.
On the contrary, all my female friends think that a girl’s attractiveness is decided by her height. These days I hear my friends commenting “she is lucky to be tall” , “i wish i was that taller”, “she is pretty but she is too short”. The concept with girls is that ‘the taller the better’. This thinking is the result of media brainwashing us into thinking that only tall girls are worthy of being called beautiful.
So I would like to put forth this question to all of you, irrespective of your height. Do you think a girl needs to be tall to be considered attractive/hot/sexy?

I tend to prefer shorter girls and I think it’s fairly common for other guys too. It works sort of like it does for girls. Girls want tall guys because it makes girls feel more feminine and protected. Well, guys like short girls for similar reasons – it makes guys feel powerful and masculine and sexually dominating.
But frankly I think that girls are MUCH more concerned about men’s height than men are with women. My Mom, sister, female friends, etc.. can’t describe a sexy man without starting out with mentioning the fact that he’s tall. For a lot of women tall = sexy. Guys don’t think about girls’ height hardly at all.
